You identified a suitable project to pilot an automation tool and planned and conduced a pilot. The pilot has been successful and tool Is being deployed within your organization, with a plan to increase tool use by the one project at a time. During this rollout some test processes will be changed slightly to gain additional benefits from using the tool.
In the pilot project, a small set of manual tests were automated for the first time. You are currently monitoring the test automation efficiency and this reveals that the automation regime for the tests is not yet mature.
Which of the following statements is TRUE?

• A. The approach used for deployed this tool is aligned to the standard success factor for deployment
• B. The pilot project should have been critical so that maximum benefits were delivered
• C. The target defined for the project was inappropriate, because the automation regime for the automated tests at the end of the pilot is not yet mature.
• D. The test process should be radically changed to gain additional benefits from using the tool.

The GUI of a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) application has been delivered through internet Explorer with proprietary Active X and Java controls. This implementation enables rich client capabilities, but specific commercial automation tools are necessary to automate test cases at GUI of functional test cases.
This is to demonstrate whether a small set of the commercial are able to properly recognize actions taken by a tester when interacting with GUI of the CRM application.
Which of the following scripting techniques would be MOST suitable in this scenario?

• A. Keyword-driven scripting
• B. Data-driven scripting
• C. Structure scripting
• D. Linear scripting

Which one of the following answers does NOT refer to an example of configuration item(s) that should be specified in development pipelines to identify a test environment (and its specific test data) associated with a web app under test on which to execute automated tests?

• A. The URLs of web APIs/web services related to the web app's backend within the test environment where the app is deployed
• B. The number and type of automated tests to execute in the test environment where the web app is deployed
• C. The base URL of the test environment where the web app is deployed (i.e., the root address for accessing the web app)
• D. The connection string(s) to connect to the test database(s) within the test environment where the web app is deployed

Consider a TAS deployed into production. The SUT is a web application and the test suite consists of a set of automated regression tests developed via GUI. A keyword-driven framework has been adopted for automating the regression tests. The tests are based on identification at low-levels of the web page components (e.g class indexes, tab sequence indexes and coordinates) in the next planned release the SUT will be subject to significant corrective maintenance (bug-fixes) and evolution (new features) Maintenance costs to update the test scripts should be as low as possible and the scripts must be highly reusable.
Which of the following statements is most likely to be TRUE?

• A. The total execution time of the automated regression test suite will decrease for each planned release.
• B. False positive errors are likely to occur when running the automated tests on the new releases without modifying the test
• C. The keyword-driven framework introduces a level abstraction that is too high and makes it difficult what really happens
• D. The keyword-driven framework is not suitable, it would be better to adopt a structured-scripting approach

You are currently designing the TAA of a TAS. You have been asked to adopt an approach for automatically generating and executing test cases from a model that defines the SUT. The SUT is a state-based and event- driven that is described by a finite-state machine and exposes its functionality via an API. The behavior of the SUT depends on hardware and communication links that can be unreliable.
Which of the following aspects is MOST important when designing the TAA in this scenario?

• A. Adopting a test definition strategy based on use case/exception case coverage for the definition layer.
• B. Looking for tools that allows direct denoting of exceptions and actions depending on the SUT events.
• C. Looking for tools that allow performing setup and teardown of the test suites and the SUT.
• D. Adopting a test definition strategy based on classification tree coverage for the test definition layer.
